I had the same problem with an AJA card. I had to use the setup software from aja to switch it to PAL as default. With the newest driver from Blackmagic there you can set in the sys prefs the default. does this help?

I'm sure I did have Load Save All Settings When Starting/Stopping Video Input turned on but I will double check; to be honest I created the patch on ym machine and transferred it over to the 'show' machine so perhaps its not selected.

In the list it comes up with very possible combination of input size/format with PAL/NTSC; it seems PAL/NTSC are not separated. I will take a screen shot later.
